iPhone coming to Canada

Canada will get its iPhone soon, writes The Star's Chris Sorensen, with a deal being struck between Apple and the only local GSM network, Rogers Communications.

“We're thrilled to announce that we have a deal with Apple to bring the iPhone to Canada later this year,” said Ted Rogers, the cable giant’s CEO, in a short statement. "We can't tell you any more about it right now, but stay tuned.”

Yes, Canada has a Competition Bureau. However, we only have one national GSM provider at the moment. There’s a spectrum auction going on at the moment to open things up a bit, but it’s not yet clear how that’s going to play out.
